We introduce the notion of hyper-self-duality for Bose-Mesner algebras as a strengthening of formal self-duality. LetM denote a Bose-Mesner algebra on a finite nonempty set X . Fix p ∈ X , and letM∗ and T denote respectively the dual Bose-Mesner algebra and the Terwilliger algebra ofMwith respect to p. By a hyper-duality ofM, we mean an automorphism ψ of T such that ψ(M) =M∗, ψ(M∗) =M; ψ2(A) = ...

We investigate maximal ideals of pseudo-BCK-algebras and give some characterizations of them.

Self-dual gravity may be reformulated as the two dimensional principal chiral model with the group of area preserving diffeomorphisms as its gauge group. Using this formulation, it is shown that self-dual gravity contains an infinite dimensional hidden symmetry whose generators form the Affine (Kac-Moody) algebra associated with the Lie algebra of area preserving diffeomorphisms. This result pr...

In the study of algebraic groups the representative functions related to monoid algebras over fields provide an important tool which also yields the finite dual coalgebra of any algebra over a field. The purpose of this note is to transfer this basic construction to monoid algebras over commutative rings R. As an application we obtain a bialgebra (Hopf algebra) structure on the finite dual of t...

The Hopf algebra dual form for the non–standard uniparametric deformation of the (1+1) Poincaré algebra iso(1, 1) is deduced. In this framework, the quantum coordinates that generate Funw(ISO(1, 1)) define an infinite dimensional Lie algebra. A change in the basis of the dual form is obtained in order to compare this deformation to the standard one. Finally, a non– standard quantum Heisenberg g...

The paper begins with a review of screw algebra including dual numbers, unit line vectors, dual vectors, screws, line coordinates, and screw coordinates and summarizes the essential rules of operation for screw algebra. A significant advantage of the algebra is that geometric, kinematic, and dynamic equations of a rigid body can be expressed in a concise and compact form. Several physical quant...
